DAILY KANSAN WILL
HAVE LITTLE BROTHER
Another Summer Session Paper Will Appear This Year
OFFERED FREE NEXT WEEK
NUMBER 150.
All Who Pay $2 in Advance for Daily Will Receive Bi-Weekly
For Nothing
Another Summer Session Kansan will be issued at the University this year. The paper which was published last summer proved so popular with the students that a definite announcement has been made to use the same size as the Daily Kansan, will appear during the short session.
The Summer Session Kansan is published by the students who take work in the department of journalism. The regular Kansan board has nothing to do with the paper.
The students who subscribed for the bi-weekly last year will remember that several news stories of special interest to University students appeared in its columns. The commencement news was fully covered in the first two issues and this fact alone should make the paper popular with the summer session, the summer session educational convention and the lectures that are given for the students are fully reported.
Last year the Board of Regents passed some important matters before the end of the short session and the result of these meetings was given in detail. Several important issues in the faculty were announced.
The important feature of this paper, of course, is the news of the doings of the Summer Session students and those who have friends in school at that time will probably not care to miss the paper. The regular editorial and feature department will be continued.
WILL JUNIOR CLASS GO JAYHAWKERLESS?
All students or members of the faculty who accept the $2.00 cash in advance offer for the Daily Kansan next week, will receive the Summer Session Kansan free. It can be mailed to any address, or delivered in Lawrence as the subscribers prefers.
Editor-Elect May Resign Sound Financial Plan Isn't Adopted
The matter of putting the publication of the Jayhawker on a stable basis seems to be "lost, strayed or stolen." •
Alfred Waddell, editor-elect for next year, has been advised to resign his position by Doc Coats, for president of the Student Council, and Dan Hazen, president of the junior class.
"I am on the fence," said Waddel today, "and hardly know what to do. Allison and Hobson have told me it's impossible to try to come out without a deficit, and there you are. But you're still taking the sake of keeping up the standard of the Jayhawker, but it seems the juniors do not care.
"The plan they advanced to assess each senior $5.00 was not in the least a better one than the one we use now; in fact it would only complicate matters. No one has come out for the manager as yet, and the chief executive definitely decides just what it is going to do."
Correction
The notice of the senior tea announced in yesterday's Daily Kansan should have read, "for the faculty and their wives," instead of "for the ladies of the faculty." The notice of the girls of the senior class comes Friday afternoon from 3 to 6 o'clock in Hawworth hall.

FRESHIES AND SOPHS HAVE GENERAL MIX-UP
Everybody Paddled and Got
Paddled—Surprise a Doubleheader—One Hurt
CHANCELLOR GIVES OPINION
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 15, 1913.
Says Student Council Should Take Up the Matter—Injured Freshman Fully Recovers.
"It seems to me that this is a matter for the Men's Student Council to look after. This is one of the things for which the Council was started, a chance to show what it can do."
Frank Strong,
Chancellor.

The freshman revolt has come and gone.
Incidentally, it showed how easy it is to turn a funny affair into a near-servious one, and as a result one freshman was thumped on the head hard enough to keep him unconscious for several hours, while others in a mob of freshmen and sophorares "received minor injuries."
About nine o'clock last night about 50 freshmen armed with paddles approached the house at 1315 Tennessee where Harry Wilson, president of the sophomore class lives, with the intention of turning the tables on the haughty sophs and naddling Wilson, their president.
patrolling the town.
The plot had been good-naturedly hatched up more or less all day, but the sophs got onto it about 7:30 and a good sized crowd of them were there awaiting the freshmen.
Wilson was called for. The soph in a body responded, and a general indiscriminate paddling fest began in the semi-darkness. The poohman paddle freshly Soph in soph paddle and the mixup two freshmen eat mighty swats on the head.
Then the 'scatterment' began. Scared when one of their fellows went down many of the freshmen "beat it," while the sophs, sobered up, dropped their paddles and it was all over.
Doctor Naismith and another local physician were called, but after thinking the matter over and freshie awoke this morning and walked home. He is not badly hurt. The whole affair rather damned the reckless padlocking that has been done on the hill the last week. Started in a spirit of fun, near-serious consequences resulted.
UMPTY-UMPS CLUB TO BE ORGANIZED
The 199th University organization, the Umpty-Umps club, to be composed of ex-presidents of the Men's Student Council, is about te be formed.
Ex-Presidents Of Men's Student Council Will Make 109th K. U. Society
After being relieved of his heavy duties at the last meeting of the 1912-13 Council Tuesday night, "Doc" Coats is fresh and eager to organize this new society, and expects to have it under way at once.
Those at present eligible are Dan Nevinger, the original Umpy-Timers, "Parson" Spatts, Arch MacKinnon, and our own imminible "Doc."

BETAS WIN ANNUAL INTER-FRAT DEBATE
Perry Grabs Honors on Negative of Commission Government for State
In the annual Pan-Hellenic debate last night in Fraser hall Arthur Perry, of Beta Theta Pi, won first place, Clymer, of Sigma Chi, second place, and Codding, of Sigma Nu, third. All supported the negative of the question of whether or not the commission form of government, as outlined by Gov. George Hedges, should be applied to the state.
Judges were Professors Boynton, Gessell, and Millis. Perry was unanimously awarded the cup, while Chaym received 2 to 1 on Clymer and Codding.
Perry proposed, instead of the commission form of government, the reduction of the membership of the legislature, and its conversion to a nonpolitical body to be elected from districts, and the governor still to be elected at large.
The other negative speaker was Davis, of Phi Kappa Psi. The affirmative speakers were Pinckard for Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Dyche for Phil Delta Theta, Kennedy for Phi Tau Omega.
This is the second consecutive year that the Betas have held the cup. Allen Wainow winning last year and the Biasley winning last permanent property of the Betas.

MISS FORSYTHE MAKES
HUT IN CHAPEI
The few who went to chapel this morning were given a treat in the singing of Miss Edna Forsythe of Kansas City. Applause, an unusual thing for Thursday chapel, attracted a number of students from the campus, and they arrived in time to hear Miss Forsythe's encore. The majority, however, remained to see the freshmen paddled.
SECOND VARSITY DANCE IN GYM FRIDAY NIGHT
Sophs Still Trying To Pay Off Deficit With 50 Cent
Even so with freshman caps. Had you noticed, a week ago, the startling paucity of the diminutive cranium covering? Did you think, mayhap, that the freshmen had all left school? Not so. Like the poor, we have them always in our midst. They were here, disguised
Tomorrow night the second Varsity party under the faculty ruling will be held in the Gym.
Dance
The following was written yesterday by a freshman reporter. Today, before the article got into print, this same reporter was taken from bis typewriter in the Kansan office and padded—Editor's Note.
The dance last week was a decided success from all standpoints. This week no tags will be sold; but everyone will pay at the door. Fifty percent
Have you noticed how the dandelions shoot up after the rain? A gentle rain and the golden flowers begin to appear; a loud, vigorous, noisy rain like that of Sunday night, and dandelions are all about. Before the rain there were only a few, a very few, scattered about. Then comes the patter patter and there are flowers everywhere.
Arvid Frank and Paul Royer will play for the dancing and the program will read as follows:
1. Melody in F.
2. Count of Luxemburg.
AND THE GREEN GRASS GREW ALL AROUND,ALL AROUND-
3. Kentucky Days.
4. When Irish Eyes are Smiling.
5. Take Me Back to Your Garden
6. Apple Blossom Time in Nor-

13. It's Your Eyes, Your Smile and You.
14. You're My Baby.

16. Syklark Love.
17. A Picture of Real Life.
18. Good Bye Everybody.
Up to a late hour this afternoon nothing has been heard of "Billie Bob" Atkinson, the small boy who was lost Tuesday night. However the search has not been given up and many rumors of his whereabouts have been traced down, none of which have had any foundation. It is generally conceded that the Kawu has claimed another offender has yet to find the body. The lawyer has been dragged along the banks and fishermen have worked with hooks but the attempts so far have been fruitless.
"BILLY BOB" YET
SIGMA CHIS CLEAN
BETAS 14 TO 3
The Sigma Chis won their second game of the inter-fraternity series yesterday afternoon when they defeated the Betas with a score of 14 to 3 in a seven-inning conflict. The batteries for the teams were: Sigma Chis, Wilson and Magill; Betas, Sweeney, Householder and Strother. Many errors were made by both teams during the game. At present the Sigma Chis are leading the Pan-Hellenic league.
as upper classmen. They had waxed bold and discarded their chapeauettes.
Clouds appeared upon the brows of sophomores, and a storm began brewing in their midst, for the responsibility lay with them. Friday at chapel time the storm broke, surprising a dozen freshmen who had not brought raincoats, umbrellas, freshman caps or trouser padding. One Moody, who is something of a weather observer, sented the approaching storm and beat a hasty retreat toward McCook field, only to be overtaken by sophomores, and the patter patter of their paddles. Observers say they had never before seen such a great patter patter in so concentrated a territory near McCook field.
Now after the rain of paddles, paddles reign. Like dandelions, freshman caps are blossoming all about us.

HARD TO PICK MEN FOR MISSOURI MEET
Manager Hamilton Unable To Announce Some Entries Until Last Moment
HIGH JUMP A TOSS-UP
Six Men Want on Relay Team—
Ross Doped For Mile—No
Missouri Dope.
The men at present practically all come to be in the pink of condition.
The Varsity track team laid off slightly yesterday from its hard labor of Monday and Tuesday. Coaches Mosse and Hamilton were down at Meriden, Kansas judging a literary contest, (pardon us), and track athletes, and the men were taking no chances of going stale.
seem to be in the pink of condition. Manager Hamilton has not yet decided who will enter in the meet for Kansas, since in a dual meet of this kind each school is allowed but two contestants in each race, and in some events the Coach's material is so plentiful that it will be hard to pick the two best men in each event. However, to the close student of track dope, it should not be hard work to figure out just who will enter the main events in this contest for Kansas.
The 100 yard dash is undecided.
Crane and Hilton are the most likely candidates, however. The same criteria divide the 230 between them.
The hurdlers are easy to choose from. Kansas has but two real contestants in these events, Hazen and Perry.
Davis and Cissna look good for the quarter-mile, Black and Patterson for the half, Patterson and Ross for the mile, and Edwards and Malcolmson for the two-mile.
The field events, Kansas's hoodo,
are not so easy to choose for, Keeling
and Burnham will represent Kansas in both the shot and discus.
Hurst will enter the pole vault for the Red and Blue, Pike will probably be the other entry.
Hazen and Hurst will contest in the broad jump and will try to decide definitely who is the better man in this event. Their rivalry for the first honor in the broad jump has been the cause of much amusement to the coaches, since neither men have ever tried the event before this year, and both have established good records so far.
The high jump is the one big puzzle as far as the Kansas entries are concerned. Four men have been working out in this event for the Jayhawkers, and it is difficult to decide just which two will be chosen. Hazen, Ammons, Blincoe, and Amos Johnson will all be entered, and it probably depends on which two show the best form between now and the time for the meet. Hazen certainly will be one of them.
The relay is one grand puzzle,
since in an event of this kind it
can never be told up to the last minute
who will run. The final four
men who make this race for Kansas
will be picked from Cisnaa, Davis,
Patterson, Black, Crane, and
Schwab.
Missouri's entries for the meet have not been received yet.
